learn how to cook

I’ve been awake for about 2 hours already and it dawned on me that I know how to cook. I just don’t do it enough. So I’m going to shift my focus there.

I’m going to move this to my done list and list a new goal in its place.

As of last sunday, I am on a low carb and no dairy diet as advised by a friend. It’s been six days and am still alive. Not bad considering all I used to eat was junk. My daily favourite were peanut butter & honey toasted sandwiches. I still miss those. :(

So am slowly learning how to broaden my culinary horizon. Tried to make the infamous vegan chocolate tofu pudding. Not bad.

My boyfriend does all of the cooking!Can anyone recommend any good teach yourself how to cook books?!

I wasn’t kidding when I said I don’t know how to cook. I mean, it’s really really sad.

Anyways, I made my own Mac-n-cheese the other day, and it was really good! I mean, it was the store bought stuff, but I did it myself, so it made it really special. I think I’m going to do it again today, I have another box.

I wonder what else I could try that would be easy…

So tonight, cooked up some couscous with chicken, red capsicum and mixed in some mint and coriander with a squeeze of lemon.

My blueberry crumble bars, http://smittenkitchen.com/2008/07/blueberry-crumb-bars/, are horrid. Horrid! I hate baking.

I’ve lived my whole live pretty dependent on other peoples cooking, and I have no idea how to cook anything myself. I even have trouble with Ramen! So, I think it’s time. I need to learn how to cook, damnit!

Well, I’ve learned how to cook a few things over the summer. And I realize that it’s really not all that hard.
Plus, I needed to start learning this stuff for when I get out of the house and start living on my own, cause I do not want to eat fast food everyday. >,< ughhh

does anybody know some really good israeli recepies ?

Good progress is coming on this, since I’ve moved out. Obviously, I can’t leave it up to my fiance and roomie to cook all the time, so I’ve come up with a few different things I can cook. Once I work up my nerve to get past the slimy part of uncooked chicken, and learn how to cook it, I’ll really be in business. As is, I’m making good progress, and it’s the one real goal I’ve been working on in my haitus.
